In this brief excerpt we are invited into a gathering that took place in London during the spring of 2014, when Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi visited our community. Although the recording consists mainly of ambient sounds and technical cues rather than extended dialogue, it nonetheless captures the reverent atmosphere that surrounded their presence—a moment of quiet anticipation as seekers prepared to receive guidance from two esteemed guides on the Sufi path.
Even when the spoken words are absent, such fragments remind us of the living continuity of our tradition across continents. Those who wish to explore the fuller teachings offered by Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi can find additional recordings and transcripts in our online library.
